[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmotechsupport:
Super noob here. brand newe to all things flash Rom and what not. This HD2 will be my first phone purchased for the purpose of modding however...

After doing a search for the words heat and hot I was not able to find much, and the wiki is down

So my first post is has anyone ran into the isse of the LED blinking green and orange and slow to no charge while plugged into the wall? To the point where it no longer charges?

I work in tech support and ive never seen anything like it outside of my gateway laptop.

I was running the stock ROM no mods yet outside of the Android mod that is being developed. i have master reset the thing easliy 10+ times in the few days ive had it though im not aware of constant reseting having a negative effect.

Basically on my way home while sitting in my console in the car I went to use it and noticed it was warm past comfortable warm. I had not used it for extended periods like hours of browsing wifi calls or using the phone hard.

I went to charge it 20 min later and it got really hot again after only being on the charger for 15-20 min and had only charged up to %15 from %13.

Took out everything let it sit overnight same thing the next day, tried a new battery and charger ( even though the battery was barely warm it is hot all along the bottom half on the back and going up the sides) and still had the same problem taking hour or 2 to charge 2-5 % and staying very hot with no use.

Im at a loss as to what to think any ideas?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watcher64:
Heat will cause what you are seeing, but also check and make sure that one of your battery pins is not bent, seems to be a common problem ..

Also have seen a few people that their battery was just bad , and they had to get a new one shipped in .....

I would task29, re-flash and try again....might be a bad download. Also...you work in customer service at Tmo?.......I might be interested in talking to you :rolleyes:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmotechsupport:
Sure cant make any promises but Ill be happy to answer any question I can. I work in Teir 3 PDA support so all of my knowledge is tech based. Ill look up the task29 stuff Im not too familiar with that.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] samsamuel:
since you have already tried a different battery, and if the pins aren't bent, then its likely to be the phones charging circuits. get it warranty replaced.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmotechsupport:
I checked and didnt see it any bent pins they spring out just fine when removing the battery and apon inspection seem to be fine. One of the 1st things was for me to try a battery in hopes that it was that simple but to no avail :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmotechsupport:
More information for those that care. The battery has been out now for a full 24 along with the sim.

I got home today and put the battery back in no sim memory card stil in. After being on for 8 min the back is far beyond warm.

The memory card is not recognized and I am certain it was before. This is getting weirder and weirder.

I wonder if it has anything to do with me trying to run the android mod off of a 2GB card that im sure was a class 2 and below, then master resetting it and going back to the 16GB that came with it?

More to come as i try new things.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] troed:
Now the high temperatures in Austria cause the same problems on my HD2 when navigating in my car. HD2 after 2-5 minutes blinks orange-green (no loading) and after maximum 10-15 minutes crashes and at home too (my little office room has no AC, is in direct sunlight and room temp is over 30°C.

Unfortunately I have to rely on phone, email and office-functions and on navi-function for my upcoming vacation. No solution to place the HD2 in AC-stream in my car with this stupid original HTC-Car-Navi-Holder, in the office I have to put it in the fridge before to get it recharged.

When driving in the heat of noon I don´t even have to switch it on, just mounting into the loading-cradle is enough to make the HD2 crash after 10-15 minutes, only 3G on, nothing else (no BT, WiFi, HSPA, no app running etc.)

Until now I was quite satisfied with the HD2, had no crashes or malfunctions so far, but now I am really fed up with this piece of sh.. and I don´t think there will be a hardware or software-solution (except swichting it off) since the HD2 is malconstructed. And it IS correlated with ambient temps since it started to happen only when ambient temp is higher than 30 °C. When I am in a AC-room everything woks normal again.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmotechsupport:
i think i figured it out! i took out the sd and used the phone for 20 min or so. the heat gradually went away and its no longer getting hot. i am currently posting from the hd2 with a standard 2gb card inserted and will test my 8 and 16gnarled card today.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conantroutman:
there is an issue with certain sd cards not being "officially supported"....

I read a post on here earlier from somebody saying that their 16gb card was causing their battery to drain fully in a matter of hours because audio manager was constantly working through numerous gb's of music on the card.........

may be completely unrelated to your problem but since you mentioned the card I thought Id chip that in..........

Hope you find a solution.....
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa_I:
I have read many threads about the issues that the Nexus One has with the power button. I feel that my situation is a little different, so I wanted some opinions on this. My power button is completely unresponsive. I can't use it to turn the phone on, wake or lock my screen when the phone is on, etc. My phone has an unlocked bootloader and is rooted. I am currently using the track ball to wake my phone, so I'm not having any real issues with day to day operations of my phone. I was completely convinced this was a hardware issue (and still am), but I wanted to be 100% sure it was a hardware issue before contacting HTC. I downloaded Quick Boot from the android market which allows you to reboot your phone, boot your phone into your Bootloader, and boot your phone into Recovery. I decided to boot my phone into Bootloader mode to see if the power button would work there. The power button didn't work in the Bootloader, but neither did the volume button (prior to this test, I had no issues with the volume rocker at all). I pulled the battery and let the phone boot up to check and make sure the volume button was still working when the phone was running. Once the phone was booted up, I had no issues with the volume controls. My question is why would the volume rocker not work in the Bootloader? Also, could the issue that prevents the volume rocker from working in the Bootloader be preventing the power switch from working while the phone is booted up? If there is a chance that it's a software issue, how would I test/correct the issue? Thanks your help.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilkorn:
Most people I have seen complain about that problem, send the phone back for a free repair because it's a hardware problem.

The best way to test it is to flash a stock rom.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa_I:
Thank you, I will try reflashing the FRF91 stock firmware and see what happens. Thanks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kam187:
Definatly sounds like the power button is broken. I had one like that. Send it back for a repair/replacement.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
I've checked my immediate suspicion, and it turned out to be correct - so I'm posting the result:

Your power button is actually stuck in "ON" position (pressed).

Anyone can test it, press the power button to wake up the screen, keep it pressed, every operation is allowed in the system and volume buttons work. But when you reboot and try the same in bootloader, having power button ON disables the rest of the buttons.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa_I:
My screen doesn't wake when I press the power button. Any other ways to check if it's stuck in the "ON" position?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
It's 100% determined by your description. The only other check would be running any kind of SW that shows the current key states, and I'm not aware of any such SW.

I've posted the checking procedure for people with working power buttons, so they can verify the findings.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Papa_I:
Any way to fix the issue?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
If you're technically inclined and can't use warranty, I suppose that getting to the power button and repairing/replacing it wouldn't be very difficult. But no other way I can think of.

Thanks in advance
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bennettm89:
A DIY can not be too difficult and you may be best to search YouTube. It can not be too terribly difficult as long as you can open it up and remove any connecting ribbons (I've had to replace my girlfriends iPhone digitizer due to phone falling out of back pocket onto concrete from three+ feet up:rolleyes:). As long as you can open it, you're fine. Just going to need to re-seat the button. Good luck!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] john.wketchersidphd:
Greetings,

I had the same power button issue. I was able to wake my phone using the usb cable whenever the screen timed out but otherwise the phone worked 100% of the time in all ways. I got an RMA and label and shot the phone to them in an anti-static wrap with 4 inches of bubble wrap on all sides and foam padding on top of that. The phone was in perfect condition. Well to cut to the chase. I got a quote of 196.00 because they said there was water damage!? I treated that phone better than I treat my own body! There was no water damage when I sent it in. So one of their folks send me images of a phone that has a broken screen, water damage in the base usb port and no inscription. Interestingly all of the angles avoided showing the ein or s/n. My phone has a laser etched inscription with my name and a couple of bible verses. So what am I supposed to do here? Pay another 196 for an 800 dollar phone that had nothing wrong but a power switch? I am a T-Mobile customer and an Android developer in good standing. What the heck!? Can anyone give me a suggestion on how to get this squared away? My only other option is to send them $28 to get the phone back with the same power button issue. It's even under warranty until Jan 28th.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deeren:
why dont you contact htc of a nearby country and send them the phone? i know it is being done. of course you will have to arrange for the transport but it's still worth a shot imo

I have the release candidate for cm 6.0 and was working on personalizing the interface. as i am trying to change the battery to a circular theme i am coming across this error in my terminal

C:\androidSDK\tools>adb push framework-res.apk /system/framework

failed to copy 'framework-res.apk' to '/system/framework/framework-res.apk': No

is this a known issue? or is there a more efficient way of handling themes
[Android Themes] Brian_Fr:
Install "Android Mate" from the market, use the explorer to go in /system/framework and delete framework-res.apk

Try your command one more time, it should work.
[Android Themes] ZeroBarrier:
Or just go into recovery, mount system, and adb push it to /system/framework/

I had the same problem and did it that way, and it worked smoothly.
[Android Themes] P4p3r1n0:
use

adb remount

adb push [...]

if you were using Metamorph, it would be easier ;)
[EVO 4G Android Development] rumessingwitme:
I was very skeptic in beginning on installing Custom Roms. But once i say the guide on how to do it and on how easy it was, its eased the pressure and i caved in a installed a Rom. Now that i have gotten the taste of playing around with my phone I want to take a crack at installing a Custom Kernal, but i have no clue how or where to start.

There are guides for installing and flashing everything for the Evo. I myself have just started using custom Roms and now i want to try a Custom Kernal, Yet i have no clue as how to flash/install a Kernal onto my Evo. I did a forum search and i didnt see anything. Can someone please guide me in the right direction on how to install a Custom Kernal. I know this is prob not the proper section to post this in but i thought if this is the place where all the guides are to Roms and other goodies why not post this here.

Also if i do manage to Install/flash a Kernal is there anyway to undo that kernal and go back to stock kernal ?

Thank You, Very Much Appreciated
[EVO 4G Android Development] Freelancerx:
ummmmm you flash it just like a rom in recovery... it doesnt get any easier than that....
[EVO 4G Android Development] rumessingwitme:
Is there anything else ? If I install it will it be automatically Overclocked ??
[EVO 4G Android Development] chumba8:
you need set cpu to coverclock the right way buy it off the market to support the dev
[EVO 4G Android Development] rumessingwitme:
I just downloaded setcpu and it looks like an extremely interesting depth app. I wouldn't even know where to start using an application like that with all if its settings. Its there a more user friendly app that does the same thing?
[EVO 4G Android Development] Rudementry:
Its really not that bad. For now, just look at the main page. It tells you your current Mhz at the top in big letters. Then it'll say how its scaling (probably ondemand). Below that there will be a max and a min. Change the max slider bar to change the maximum speed you want the processor to work at. Change the minimum to change the minimum speed you want it to work at. I'd recommend leaving scaling alone for now. On demand just means that when the phone needs more processing power, it will automatically work faster, and when it doesn't need it, it will slow down. Setting it to Performance makes it run at the top speed continuously (this could be very harmful to your phone if you leave it alone for too long) Thats about it. If you want I can help you with profiles too.
[EVO 4G Android Development] rumessingwitme:
WOW Thanks a million. I really appreciate all of your help. I dont really know what profiles are pertaining to overclocking. Also where can i get the stock Kernel from if i ever want to go back? I have the Evo with the 003 Screen but i had the version that came with the non update. Its totally rooted and everything.
[EVO 4G Android Development] scottspa74:
question...

Ok, so do you need to do a wipe of everything when you flash a custom kernel?

(The irony is I flashed netarchy kernel 3.7.8 about 2 wks ago, but was late and drinky when I did it, and can't remember if I did all that. Wanna flash his new 4.x kernel)

Thanks in advance.

[EVO 4G Android Development] M@XLOL:

[EVO 4G Android Development] scottspa74:
Hey, thanks. I just couldn't remember if I did a full wipe of everything before. I now just wiped cache, and dalvik, and it worked without a hitch. Flashed 4.0 kernel. Crazy fast. But, now wired tether for root is no longer working. If anyone can get it working in froyo, please let me know. I've searched and find nothin. Don't want pdanet or easy tether because they require the host to have special drivers, wired_tether_for_root_users works on anything you plug into, no extra drivers reqd. Just doesn't work with newer version of kernel. Anyone knows anyhow, please fill me in.

Thanks to all

[Legend General] duckdown:
Hi all, so the Virgin Mobile HTC Legend is available for only $349 vs. $399 at Bell Mobility.

I am currently a Bell Mobility customer, and am using a Nokia E71 on Bell. I just switched to the E71 a month or two ago and had to buy a special SIM card for it at the time, for 20 bucks.

My question is, if I go out today and buy the Virgin Mobile HTC Legend, do I need to do anything special in order to use it on Bell? Do I just take the SIM out of the back of my E71 and put it in the HTC Legend, and off I go?

Or is there any special method I need to do, ie: buying an unlock code or something?

I am a novice user, so go easy on me!

Thanks in advance, any speedy response would be greatly appreciated because I'm heading to the mall soon

Cheers!
[Legend General] kpms:
Hey!

I believe you will need to get it unlocked - either getting the Code online (Apx 10 Dollars depending on where) or do as I and get it done at a store (Apx $40) I have a Virgin Legend but I am on Rogers.

It's the same as Rogers/Fido - When you buy a Fido Handset it needs to be unlocked in order to use it with Rogers - Even though Fido is owned by Rogers.

Hope this Helps!

P.S. E71's are pretty amazing - But you're going to love the Legend Even More!
[Legend General] kylecore:
Virgin is owned by bell, they run of the same network. You may have to get it unlocked (could cost $10-20) but it will work without a problem.
[Legend General] mjf100:
I bought my legend at Virgin and went right to the Bell store, paid $20 for a SIM card and everything works fine. The owner of the Bell store didn't even know that you did not have to unlock a Virgin phone to get it to work on the Bell network.
[Legend General] bella10:
before that you have to unlock your mobile.
[Legend General] marclh1992:
Try without unlocking the phone, and if it doesn't get the Bell Mobility service, unlock the phone.

[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Most of us on here are coming from another Android. I have noticed that outside the signal and speed are incredible (twice the d/load speed of my G1 on the same network).

That said, inside my office the signal appears to be much weaker. I would say it is downloading about the same as my G1, but the signal indicator is only showing like 1 bar, and on EDGE.

Anyone else noticing something similar? I tried 3 Radio's on the G1 but the last one I had seemed perfect. Would like to hear others thoughts....

do u think thats why GPS ... is tripping ,, ((( Location not available )))
[Vibrant General] SykesAT:
I agree something is wrong but I have no clue what it is and it does not seem to affect my usability... I have been in a part of my house where the phone reads 0 or -111dBm and I have had perfect 3g and calls. Infact when I get start a call I can see the bars go from 0 to 3 bars and as soon as I'm off the call the phone goes back to 0dB, this is on speaker phone with the phone on a table.

My G1 reads 97dBm, in the same location.

[Vibrant General] allthrottle:
Inside my office I get zero bars of reception, but the 3G logo stays up, data speeds don't suffer much, and call quality is still great. I switched to my 9700 Bold this week to see how I feel about it and while it did show more 3G bars, data speeds did suffer a little, and calls did break up a little.
[Vibrant General] KerryG:
I flashed Frank-twiz 4 today and am getting better speeds indoors than I have ever had so I am calling this an improvement over stock.

It actually drops calls in my office, which stinks. Reception definitely not as good as my last phone (a BB, so it's apples/oranges). One of my few real Vibrant gripes.
[Vibrant General] motorjonny:
I wish the J6 showed an improvement for me but I cant say that it did... I still cant hold a call in some part of my house... Vibrant is the best reception compared to a g1, mytouch slide, and bold 9700... by a little bit... but no magic radio has ever fixed my dead zones (enter zombies)

its a damn shame.. my coverage map says I have good coverage, I reported it to TMO and there is no resolution planned..
[Vibrant General] All~G1:
+1... Usually when I am reading the fourms in bed I get one bar & will flip flop 3g/E. Right now I'm seeing 4 bars 3g strong!
